Yes the placenta is out it took about two hours but I kept tieing it up and it came out good. The foal is doing really good but like I said above the mother is not wanting her to nurce, I think it is because her bag is so full that it hurts because other than that she is really good with the baby. Rain (the foal) was up and walking within 20 minutes of birth and is trying to nurse as much as mom lets her. But we had to prity much hog tie the mother so she wouldn't hurt the baby while trying to nurse. This is the mares first foal. Twister (the mom) is 16 hands and Denny (the dad) is 16.1 hands. The foal is about 48-50 inches tall allready! She's a BIG girl and we named her Rain. I called vets all last night and finally got ahold of the one we normally use at about 6 this morning. He will be here anytime so I will keep you posted.
